In a healthy pancreas, the hormones insulin and glucagon work in tandem to keep blood sugar levels in check, but sometimes this relationship can break down and lead to what we know as diabetes. Scientists at the University of Texas (UT) Southwestern ha… Continue reading Cell conversion method cures diabetes in mouse models
Two new studies are offering yet more evidence the gut microbiome is deeply intertwined with our metabolic and brain health. One study offers some of the first experimental evidence to show a direct relationship between gut bacteria and cognitive changes in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s, while a second suggests microbial biomarkers in the gut could be used to predict the progression of prediabetes to type 2 diabetes years ahead of time.

For many, exercise is a means to an end, namely better health – and in a perfect world, perhaps there would be a way to skip that middle step with some sort of pill or injection. Now scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) have studie… Continue reading Exercise hormone injections boost fitness in even old or unhealthy mice

A new systematic review and meta-analysis published in the British Medical Journal has concluded adhering to a low-carbohydrate diet for six months is the most effective dietary strategy to put type type 2 diabetes into remission.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Metastudy affirms low-carb diets can reverse type 2 diabetes
A new study, the largest of its kind ever conducted in humans, has affirmed the link between the presence of brown fat and improved cardiac or metabolic health. The research validates the relatively new hypothesis suggesting the type of adipose tissue … Continue reading First-of-its-kind study links brown fat with broad health benefits
German scientists have, for the first time, distinguished six different subtypes of prediabetes, a condition that precedes the onset of type 2 diabetes. The research, tracking data from an intensive 25-year longitudinal study, suggests these new subtyp… Continue reading 25-year study identifies six distinct subtypes of prediabetes
Continuous monitoring of changes in patients’ blood would be a profoundly transformative advance for doctors and a team of Stanford bioengineers has brought us one step closer to that reality. New research in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering d… Continue reading Stanford innovation promises real-time continuous blood monitoring
A strong new study has investigated the prospective anti-obesity effects of a specific strain of gut bacteria. From preclinical animal studies to a placebo-controlled human trial, the robust translational research suggests a novel bacterial strain may … Continue reading Gut bacteria strain found to confer mental health and metabolic benefits
